Psychometric Properties: Reliability of the PPVT-5 was evidenced using internal consistency, alternate form stability, and test-retest reliability. Validity of the PPVT-5 was evidenced by test content, response processes, relationships with prior version (PPVT-4) and other tests that measure the same constructs, and special group studies.
